Mexican soldiers gun down "El Perris" of Chapitos. The Mexican government says soldiers were ambushed when they went in. But does it really show a more hardline approach by troops now going in blazing? My video news report on the take down of El 27:↓ crashoutmedia.com/p/mexican-sold…

En la transmisión en vivo del lunes pasado, recibí este “comentario”. Hoy por la noche, van a tomarle fotos a la casa de mi mamá. Le aviso a quien sea que esté detrás de esto, no me voy a dejar intimidar.

On Mexico's upcoming judicial election, to vote for magistrates: -It is a waste of time and money -Mexico's judicial system was problematic before and it will be problematic after -But Mexico is still a democracy (albeit a very flawed one)

Death penalty is off the table for Joaquín Guzmán Jr, who kidnapped El Mayo and flew him to the U.S. A likely step to a plea agreement? Will they also now take the death penalty off the table for El Mayo?

Trump pausing international student visas could spark a massive rise in foreign applications to UK universities - right as foreign student numbers in the UK are also a red hot issue.

In Singapore, you get hanged for 15g of heroin, 30g of cocaine or half kilo of cannabis. It also has one of lowest murder rates in the world with 10 murders (Mexico had 145x more per capita; US 35x) I went to "Lion City" and looked at zero tolerance:↓ crashoutmedia.com/p/singapore-hi…

I personally don't think it's a big mystery why fentanyl seizures dropped on border. Trump pressured Sheinbaum who pressured generals who pressured the cartels who pressured the smaller narcos to move less dope. (And Trump's pressure began before he took power with threats.)
